Page 980…
In just 4 weeks…
Page 1000.
Can you believe it?
Wow.
I’d been thinking of asking some of my fellow webcomickers to do something…um…memorable.
But honestly. I can’t think of anything. And I don’t want to be a bother to everyone.
So…I’ll just say YAY when the time comes.
🙂
Oh. And for those of you who wanted to notified of upcoming Livestream casts…
I’m doing one at 1:30 CST (that’s 2:30 EST and 11:30 PST).
It’s a special Livestream just for Christie deSouza’s class at St. Francis of Assisi school.
It’ll be my first time doing this for a whole class. So come on by and say hi if you’re around.
Heck. If it turns out to be fun…I may offer this to other classes if they’d like.
And finally…
My buddy Scott Zirkel is doing a webcomic.
Yes. Can you believe that?
I was stunned as well.
Check it out. It looks like fun!
THat’s it.
See you all tomorrow.
Scott
Maybe Alex has a stereotypical Jewish grandmother? 🙂
Alex is actually very funny, even if it is because he’s a bit dense sometimes!
I present to you, what The Dreamland Chronicles would be like if it was written in the ’80’s in Southern California.

is that only what you truly feel for staj, alex?guilt?
I was reading some of the earlier chapters to my kids, and Paddington’s dancing reminded me of Neil The Horse, from Arn Saba (now Katherine Collins). The comic’s motto was “Making the world safe for musical comedy.” Each issue would have songs (with lyrics and notes), dancing, and madcap adventures. Is there anyone out there who is a fan?
Must. Resist. Giggle-fits
I’ve been keeping up on Dreamland for a month or so and I have to say it’s pretty amazing Scot.
I look forward to a lot more. =)
Maybe Orion should try dropping him off the cliff again? Oh nevermind! I’m sure he STILL won’t get it. 😀
Woah dude! Like that was SO not lame! Like, totally awesome! 😀
Don’t you mean in 4 weeks? Unless you’re going to post 2 pages per day… =P
Guilt works for me, that and stress… And coffee… Guilt, stress, and coffee… And my friends’ badgering…
Love, not guilt! <3 LOVE.
Also, yay 1k pages!
Whoo dude, that was like awesome. EXCELLENT!!!*riff*
I don’t think Alex knows what less than three is.
You should totally do something for the 1000th. page. That’s a milestone and it should be memorable. Maybe you could ask your fellow webcomikers to each pick out a character from your cast to do a pin-up of. You could make a list and then put it up and let them pick which ones they’d like to do and then post them on the same day as your 1000th. page. 🙂
ohhh, to have such an innocent mind again… *giggles*
HOW old is alex? 😀
and yeah, page 1000… I thought about it yesterday already… would be cool if it was some kind of special page. 🙂
let’s break the 4th wall. 😉
Whoa,like totally gnarly, dude.
It’s been said already but; LOVE, YOU SLUGWITTED GIT!
Can Nastaija punch him again? Please? 😉
Whoa, totally bodacious dude, that was so, like, totally radical!
“ugh Alex, ~thwacks him across the back of his head~ no you idiot… Love”
sheesh.
Still love the comic, when are more coming out in the stores? I’ve bought 1 – 3 and of course want more!!
HI thank you for the note one the live stream. as for the 1000’s page why not let those of your fans here do fan art and post it. and of cores you will have to make the 1000’s page into a screansaver with the 1000’s on the bottum so we can all have it on our computers. Oh and I love the page. though it make me want to smack Alex. “No stupid LOVE” men and be so thick. *smiles*
I would agree with that… and my mom has the whole guilt thing down as well, but we’re not Jewish. 😛
I am so totally giggling. What a radical change in the comic! There’s no strange things going on at the Circle K here.
I’m guessing that he and Dan are twenty. I don’t think this is their freshman year.
RoTf,LmHo,Ol,C (Rolling on the floor, laughing my head off, out loud, crazily)
I mean, like; RoTf,LmHo,Ol,C,dM (Rolling on the floor, laughing my head off, out loud, crazily, Dude man)
Geez, Alex… you make me apologize for my entire gender sometimes.
That said – if Alex feels a degree of guilt towards Nastajia and the others it’s more indicative of acceptance in Dreamland. At least that’s how I see it.
How about this as a followup?
—
Orion stares blankly at Alexander for a moment, then picks him right back up and marches over to the cliff edge.
“We’ll keep doing this until you have an epiphany.”
Drops Alex again… rinse and repeat until.
“Love? That’s what this is about!?! Why didn’t you just say so?”
“It would mean little if you didn’t reach that conclusion on your own.”
—
Scott,
By my calculations, it would be more than 2 weeks for page 1000. If my math is correct, Nov 17th would be page 1000 unless of course your going to break down and do 2 pages a day 🙂
Sorry, hate to make is sound longer.. but…..
LOL!
Guh.
You’re right.
Thanks. My addition is horrible.
Ha ha
We’re scheduling book 4 for June.
You’re right.
Stupid art school. I’m horrible at math.
Or Catholic, or Korean… Or really, it’s a mom thing. Moms are good at guil-
OH GOD. Mental image of Orion in drag. Halp.
That stinks. I bet Nastajia and Alex hanging out in Aethos will look 10 times more AWESOME in print.
LOL! Alex, you are going to wake up so bruised if you keep encouraging people to hit you and throw you off cliffs.
Confound it, I can’t access the image from Firefox or Explorer. Is Image Shack down or what?
Alex’s age has been stated as 20. I doubt that enough time has elapsed for him to have a birthday without us noticing.
Thanks for the mention Scott! I’ll fax you the check today.
I agree with Azzie!
Omg stupid alex!!!
—————————-
Orion: glares at alex for a few seconds -.-
Alex: what..
Orion: -.-
Alex: what!?
Orion: -.-
Alex: WHAT!?!?!?!?!
Orion: -facepalms- you’re hopeless.
Alex: um thanks? oh and by the way, i know its love.
Orion: -slaps alex-
Alex: owwy…..
Lol that’d be funny…
anyway, love it! love you! love the comic! its all awesome! im a big fan with a little bit of drawing talent myself.
haha
OH AND BTW SCOTT! is it ok if i make somthing for the 1k?
thank you Tolin42
Oh my goodness, I’m not sure if I should laugh or cry.
it was a rhetorical question, making fun of his denial. 😉
though, seriously, from personal experience I have to say that guys at 20 rarely think or talk about love – as if they are scared by it. 😀
so maybe he just didn’t want to admit he loves her and picked guilt as the “next best thing” to say… 😛
Absolutely. Thank you.
“Guilt?” Heh-heh. Alex is still so very Alex about it. 😀
Sugest-A-Mundo… Is it sad I actually have tears in my eyes from laughing?
Nah.
Ooohh. Page 1000. A great chance to do some fan art if that is OK. Though by the time I will get it done it would have to be for 2000 page anniversary as well.
I’m slow. 😀
Great Comic Scott! *thumbs up and big grin*
That would be awesome. Let me crank out another mashup comic right here. 🙂
Don’t forget greek.
/facepalm
yes, guilt what else… 😀 silly Alex ^^
It’s a mom thing. I’d know. I’m a mom 😀
I’ve been wondering that myself…
Give us a collage of characters for wallpaper! 😀
When is Alex’s birthday? 21 woooo! hehe. >.>
I can see staj actually saying that. 😀
Too awesome! That cracked me up…sounded like my little brother…don’t mess with the hair.
No, of course not, he really loves her. It’s probably why he’s not succesful with women in the “real world”. As we all saw when he tried to ask Nicole out. I expect that getting rejections from women are pretty common for Alex.
it would be at that point that orion baps him upside the head XD
I get really thick-skulled like that when I’m being stubborn and intentionally infuriating. It’d be good revenge for being hurled off a cliff! I’m just sayin’…
Then again, it is Alex we’re talking about here. But that would be /exactly/ my reaction.
Don’t worry, Scott. Many mathematicians are too.
“There are three types of mathematicians: those who can count, and those who can’t.”
As many other have said, LOL!!!!
Guilt, Alex??? That’s the best you could come up with?
It’s determination from your love that got you flying! not guilt!
*smack upside the head*
lol… guilt? more like love 😉 yayy for love!!
Oh, Noes!
I’ve converted everyone to conversing in Valspeak!
The horror! 🙂
Getting Alex to admit to himself or to anyone else that he is in love with Staj is not going to be easy. Cue the next arc of Alex growing as a person!
Alex: “Me, like, in love? For real? As if!”
Oops. Sorry for the continuing Valspeak. 🙂
Maybe he’ll borrow the sword again and spank Alex with it.
No, Alex. Love. LOOOOOVVVVE. *sparkly rainbow pony*
lolwut.
You evil, evil man! 😛 I have been needing to say that for a while now. Thank you for the perfect set up!
I would have to agree. Then again, he is kind of dreaming, so… Then again, Nicole wouldn’t have met Felicity if Alex was the only person dreaming of Dreamland, and that would imply that every one at some point in time had or has a little tiny “Excalibur” sword necklace (excuse the King Arthur Pendragon reference, which has been seemingly obvious to me for a while now). Seeing as Nicole apparently doesn’t have one, the whole idea that he is dreaming up Dreamland every night when he goes to sleep, falls flat on its face in centaur droppings. Basically, he has been doomed to have pretty bad luck with women in the real world because he either has not found the Nastajia human equivalent yet or he really is hopelessly in love with her. I vote for hopelessly in love.
no! love dammit!
I say guest comic pages. But I would be happy with the pin ups or wall paper idea as well if the guest comic pages does not work out. 🙂
You are scary, you know that right? To be able to do stuff like this… You scare me. Then again, I also respect you for being able to do it almost seamlessly. That would be awesome to see though…
Lol. That reminds me of the 10 people who know about computers joke!
Orion: …
Alex: That is what would motivate me, isn’t it?
Orion: … Yes… Guilt… Can I borrow your sword again for a moment?
Alex: Sure *hands over sword*
Orion: I hope Dan starts dreaming very soon. *begins beating Alex senseless*
Alex: OW! What the–OW! Orion cut it–OW!
Orion: Its for your own good. *still beating Alex senseless*
😀
lol love it
Ha ha!
Birds do it, bees do it,
even armor-plated goofs do it!
What?
They all fly, of course!
June… ugh…. I have to wait until June?!
they fall in love!
~thinks of song and dance number in Tankgirl with the same song… giggles lots~
like rofl dude
It seems Orion is saying that he brought Nastajia into the conversation, whereas it was actually Alex who mentioned Nastajia – after Orion had dropped him.
Okay, so now he’s gotten rid of his selfishness… but is there any chance he might catch himself a brain now? 😛
not gonna lie, I loled pretty hard.
Maybe after he meets the wizard of Oz.
or was it flies in love XD
Somewhere in the multiverse, something just broke.
80’s valspeak and 2000’s netspeak were never meant to be mixed …
😉
Wooo! 1000 pages! Awesome! And the story is so much fuller now. Thanks for all the hard work and effort it had to have taken to make this comic.
“Guilt?”
Gyahahahaha! XD
